Jayceon Taylor's eagerness to live down to a cartoon sketch of what a rapper should be is in danger of obscuring his very real talent. His glossy second album, Doctor's Advocate, arrives on the back of his artfully constructed beef with 50 Cent, features the title track's lachrymose apology to former mentor Dr Dre and stakes more claims to a piece of West Coast heritage than the California Gold Rush. The Game is a skilled MC, even holding his own with Nas on 'Why You Hate the Game', but beneath the NWA tattoos and painted scowl, he could do with a new look.
